Two Planes, Two Buses, A Hire Car, £400 And 1000 Miles To Plead Guilty
Honest Swede Andreas Back travelled 1000 miles to plead guilty to a driving offence in Scotland.
The 26-year-old spent £400 on two flights, two bus trips and a hire car to get him to Fort William Sheriff Court, where he admitted driving without insurance in nearby Corpach last November.
For decades generations of Cambridge undergraduates have fantasised about a secret stash of Victorian pornography in the university's library tower.
Many have tried to gain access to the chamber to uncover its illicit secrets. So intrigued was
Stephen Fry by the collection that he wrote about it in his first novel, The Liar.
As parishioners arrived for early Sunday worship at the country church, they expected an uplifting sermon from long-serving vicar Jim Tipp.
But Canon Tipp, 62, failed to turn up and a spokesman for the diocese told the congregation he was "unavailable".
Under normal circumstances, his deputy, the Reverend Elaine Northern, 45, would have stepped in. But she, too, was "unavailable".
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska State Troopers see plenty of hazards, but Trooper Howard Peterson was nearly felled by a new one: falling moose. Peterson was driving Feb. 2 on the Seward Highway south of Anchorage when something big and black fell out of the sky about 20 feet in front of his patrol car. "Falling rock!" he thought, ready to steer clear if it bounced onto the highway.
The thing didn't roll or shatter. It turned out to be a moose that fell from cliffs next to the highway.
Winona, Minnesota - Bella, a 3-year-old golden retriever/collie mix who was once rescued as an abused puppy, returned the favor to her owners by alerting them to a house fire. With help from Maddie, a 6-month-old golden retriever, Bella helped get Sue Feuling and her 9-year-old daughter, Mckenzie, out of the house last week. The dogs didn't make it.
The REAL Norwegian Politician speaks up! (Not the same as this one!)As reported by Norwegian Secret Military Analysts to their Leak Me a Secret Magazine subscribers.We recently received a most interesting letter from a real Norwegian politician. Although we wouldn't declare under oath for the authenticity of the manuscript, the elegant handwriting and the numerous footnotes suggest that a great deal of scientific research was carried out to support the claims. Plus, the poor use of the English language proves that we are dealing with a foreigner! Plus, the inability to write a coherent paragraph proves we are dealing with a politician!

I am a Norwegian politician. Really. I would like to say that difficult things have happened throughout the history of the human race and they will still be happening from the current year (2008) [1] till the year ominously known as 2012 and beyond. All the years in between inclusive.
Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey -- perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions -- said on Friday.
Electrical retailer Comet surveyed 2,000 Britons, asking them what they would give up for a large television, one of the latest consumer "must-haves".
Helena, Mont. - Tom Pick saw the frightened look on his dog's face as the snow gave way, but he could only watch as a small avalanche swept the black Labrador retriever down the mountainside.
This individual seeks an executive position. He will be available in January 2009, and is willing (and hopeful) to relocate.
Grand Rapids, Mich. - Two different armed robbers hit a Grand Rapids convenience store in one evening, taking money from the same store clerk on both occasions. Tommy Gutierrez, 31, works at the Shell station on the city's northwest side.
